Collective 217 explores art as a living process that thrives beyond traditional structures and embraces experimentation in all forms. Rooted in nostalgia and the evolutionary nature of how we come to know ourselves and one another, Collective 217 blurs the lines between visual art, performance, and exchange, engaging with nontraditional methods that invite participation and challenge conventional ways of experiencing art. As Spring 2025 artists-in-residence at the Momentary, Collective 217 explored concepts of togetherness and co-creation to build a shared space where meaning is developed collectively rather than dictated. Foregrounding the concept of the shared meal, Collective 217’s GET TOGETHER aims to foster connections and honor the importance of exchange—in ideas, stories, and tangible objects—while drawing inspiration from memory, artifacts, and the cycles of growth that shape us. Music and rhythm serve as connective threads, weaving movement, storytelling, and improvisation into immersive actions.
